GAS-BURNER FOR FURNACES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 244,746, dated July 26, 1881.

1 Application filed March 18, 1881. (No model.) 7

To all whomc't may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK W. GORDON, of Pittsburg, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, have invented certainnew and useful Improve ments in Gas-Burners for Furnaces, of which the following-is a specification.

This invention relates to gas-burners appli- The . object is to secure a more economical consumption of the gas, and to produce a burner of simple and economical construction, which will be convenient for erection, cleaning, &c.

Theinvention has reference toimproveinents in means, and does not involve any principles perspective view of the burner proper.

In Figs. 1 and 2 is shown a battery of two boilers with furnace suited for solid fuel and gas. Gisthefiring-door; D,ash-door; E,grate;

When solid fuel is used gether. The burner J is a box having an inlet, G, from the gas-main, and having its furnace side openand issuing into the gas-chambers. The burner will be understood by aninspection of Fig. 3. Air-inlets I in the sides of the burner are continued so as to present sheet issues at the open end of the burner. The airconduitsare seen to be of flattened section at the issue, and to partially block up the gas-outlet, which becomes divided itself into several flat. conduits. The gas is thus injected in sheets interposed with air. By this arrangement of issues the gas and air enter in interposed sheets, and the diffusion before ignition is about perfect. The gas deposits matter on surfaces with which it comes into contact, and the air-conduits in the burner, by the arrangement shown, furnish horizontal surfaces for this deposit. A door, N, atv the face of the burner allows these simple surfaces to be readily and perfectly cleaned by passing cleaning devices into the gas-conduits between the airconduits.

The position of the burners in front of the furnace enhances the accessibility of the affair; but the same burner would work Well if placed in the usual position above the grate.

Valves for the control of the gas should be fixed at proper points in the gas-inlet.

I claim as my invention 1. In a gas-burner for furnaces, the combination and arrangement of a series of alternate interposed gas and air issue orifices of flattened section, located one above another, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a gas-burner for furnaces, the combination, with'a burner-body having a gas-inlet, a cleaning-door, and an open lssue side, of air- ,conduits arranged in the burner-body, as set forth, having side admissions, and having flattened outlets arranged in and dividing the gasoutlet, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, in a boiler-furnace, .with the gas-burners J, boilers A, grate E, and ashchamber F, of the gas-chambers P, located between the side walls of the furnace and the low sidewalls of the ash-chamber and gratefurnace, substantially as set forth.
